I just had another one of those enlightening phone conversations with
one of the caseworkers in my Congressman's office. About a month
ago, she sent some written materials about my case to a liaison in
OWCP's Washington, DC office. The liaison acknowledged receipt of
the materials and asked my Congressional office not to follow up
until the week of November 8. My caseworker implied that OWCP was
waiting to see if my Congressman would be re-elected. Had my
Congressman failed to secure another term, she suggested that OWCP
would not deal with a "lame duck" and would (continue) ignore
Congressional inquiries.

It appears that OWCP will try anything to avoid contact with
claimants and their Congressional Representatives. Playing politics
is yet another approach the agency will use to remain
unapproachable.

The Bush Administration, shame of you!
